Just in the nick of time for Movember/Moucho Prema and inspired by the Bollywhat South Indian hero mustache game, here's a Hindi masala film mustache quiz! Each image below is a different Hindi film actor wearing a mustache from film(s) in the 1970s. If the image is a collage, it is of the same actor wearing different mustaches, sometimes in different films, sometimes not. (Of course you can have more than one mustache in the same film. Where have you been?)

Can you guess each one? All questions are worth 1 point each (with the number of the question below the image), and the bonus questions are worth a whopping 10 points each. The maximum score is thus 40 (20 + 10 + 10). Submit your numbered answers via email to bethlovesbollywood at gmail. The top point-getter wins a prize! Submit by noon on Saturday (GMT -6:00, i.e. US Central time), when I will publish the answers for the edification and delight of all.

Sorry the file sizes are so inconsistent!

Order of the Skeleton Suit: the Agents of M.O.S.S. are a shadowy confederation of like-minded writers, broadcasters, creators, and jetsetters who have banded together in a bold mission to bring international intrigue and pop entertainment to the masses. Can anyone stand in the way of their diabolical schemes?
